There are a couple ways to solve this. One way, and probably the easiest way, is by using proportions.

The two fractions we need to use are 12/x and 60/100 These two fractions are equal, but we don't know what the denominator of the first fraction.

We can find that out by cross multiplying. If our fractions are a/b and c/d we need to multiply a and d then b and c. Somehow, these two products are going to match up.

So, we multiply 12 and 100 to get 1200. Multiplying x and 60, we get 60x.

Since 1200=60x, we just need to divide 1200 by 60 to get x. (That equals 20 btw)

In conclusion 12 is 60% of 20.

Any questions?

How do you solve sin (5pi/3) without a calculator?

Savatey [412]

very simple, we use the formula sin(a+b)=sinacosb + sinbcosa and sin(20)=2sinacosa

5pi = 2pi/3+3pi/3,

First, we use sin(a+b)=sinacosb + sinbcosa

sin(5pi/3)=sin(2pi/3+3pi/3)= sin(2pi/3+pi)= sin(2pi/3)cos(pi) +sin(pi)cos(2pi/3)

but we know that sin(pi)= 0, and cos (pi) = -1, so sin(5pi/3)= - sin(2pi/3)

now, use sin(2a)=2sinacosa, sin(5pi/3)= - sin(2pi/3)= -2sin(pi/3)cos(pi/3)

sin<span>(5pi/3)= -2sin(pi/3)cos(pi/3)</span>

<span>sin(pi/3)= 0.86, cos(pi/3)=0.5, finally we have </span>sin<span>(5pi/3)= -0.86 x 0.5= -0.43</span>

josh currently bench presses 150lbs.he increases that amount by 10% a month for 3 months about how much can be bench press now

Tomtit [17]

150 times .1 is 15 so add 15 to 150 and get 165 then times that by .1 and get 16.5 add to 165 and get 181.5 times .1 and get 18.15 and add to 181.5 and get 199.65 as the answer.

Convert 123 into quinary number .

muminat

<em>To convert decimal number 1</em><em>2</em><em>3</em><em> to quinary, follow these steps:</em>

<em>1</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>Divide 1</em><em>2</em><em>3</em><em> </em><em>by 5 keeping notice of the quotient and the remainder.</em>

<em>2</em><em>.</em><em>Continue dividing the quotient by 5 until you get a quotient of zero.</em>

<em>3</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>Then just write out the remainders in the reverse order to get quinary equivalent of decimal number 1</em><em>2</em><em>3</em><em>.</em>
